This is turning in to "nutcracker week"! As we celebrate the holiday with family and friends, I am sneaking in paintings where I can! I primed several of these wonderful, deep gallery wraps for special holiday paintings, and now I am painting small on canvas. The weave grabs the paint of the brush in high spots, while resisting it in the grooves. I now realize why some of my "acrylic" friends thin down their paint so much - you have to or the canvas color will totally show through! Once coverage is achieved, I can then dry brush over as usual. These will be cool for my upcoming show, but they certainly take longer than my normal masonite! Painting number 1415 in 1415 days :)
